If you have aids, isnt the chance of your kid(s) having aids a hundred percent?!


Question: No. It's actually less than 1% IF:

a) you have a c-section
b) your viral load is undetectable (less than 50ml)
c) your CD4 is good
d) you don't breastfeed

No.

If you a woman with HIV, the chance your baby will get HIV around the time of birth is about 25 per cent, without treatment.

With good treatment, the risk can be lower than 2 per cent.

No, actually they do a C/S & then give baby anti-viral meds to help prevent the transfer. i think most of the babies are HIV free. And they tell these women not to breastfeed b/c we don't know if it can be passed this way.

no i think the child will probalby get AIDS only if the parent wasn't on the right type of medcine and gives an natural birth. . . i think c-sections are perfered for women with AIDS

If you contracted AIDS due to your sexual contact with someone or through direct bodily fluid contact (touching fresh blood or other bodily fluids) from an infected person, yes. There is a possibility that you may still have healthy eggs. If one of your eggs could be fertilized in vitro (separate from direct sexual contact) and placed in a healthy uterus there is a possibility you could still have a child that would not have AIDS but the process is very expensive. You would be looking at anywhere from $50-100 thousand for this procedure and there is no absolute guarantee that the child would not be infected plus the matter of getting the surrogate uterus.

No
Its actually possible to NOT pass the virus to your children, even with natural childbirth.
The doctors can create a near "bloodless birth", making the risk to the baby near zero, but one cannot tell if the baby got the virus or not until the baby reaches 3 months of age and a test is done.

No, they have medication women can take during pregnancy that can prevent the passing on of HIV to the baby. It sounds unbeleiveable since they thrive off of you and grow from your nurishment which is in your blood but it greatly reduced the risk of a baby getting aids for his/her mother.

no. but you do have to plan the pregnancy, for a low rate of infection. i hope anyone with HIV is receiving treatment, especially if they are planning to have children. the managment of HIV in developed countries has come a long way as we learn more about it. if you had progressed to having symptomatic HIV, i would think that you were not in a position, health wise, to undergo the stress of a baby. it is something you have to talk to your dr about.

yes.If you are pregnant and the child had been born to you during that time when you had aids..Why ,do u have it?
